Greta Gerwig's 2023 blockbuster film Barbie has become a sensation in popular culture. The movie is now in the running for the Best Picture award at the 96th Academy Awards. It has received a total of eight Oscar nominations, including a nod for Best Supporting Actress for America Ferrera and Best Supporting Actor for Ryan Gosling.
